About this audiobook
Thirteen years after the Uttarakhand floods claimed his pregnant wife Vikram Sharma, a rationalist photographer lives in self-imposed exile in Haridwar carrying the silent guilt of a choice he made to save his infant daughter
Ananya.
But when Ananya and her friend, Priya, trespass into an abandoned Shivalaya during Navratri they awaken a curse laid by a wrongfully killed tantrik 50 years prior. The girls return possessed their bodies becoming vessels for a host of unquiet child spirits including a soul tied to Vikram's own tragic past.
As the possessions escalate, Vikram's world of logic shatters. Guided by a survivor of the original curse and a multi-faith spiritual team he journeys to the sacred grounds of Mehandipur Balaji for a climactic exorcism. He learns the curse demands an impossible payment one girl must die to save the other forcing Vikram to break the cycle of vengeance by transforming his deepest guilt into the ultimate act of unconditional love and spiritual release.
